ABSTRACT:
Conventional communication cables must be spliced and so must fiber optic cables. Special care must be taken at splice points or locations so as not to cause faults in the optical fibers and still have an organized packaging and splicing arrangement. Optical fibers, unlike copper wire conductors, have memory. This causes a problem, for example, since one can splice a copper pair, coil it up or place it in a splice case, and it will stay. If the same thing is done on an optical fiber, it will not stay as placed and in fact will recoil like a spring. This invention comprises a fiber organizer, made up of a series of channels, and it can accommodate and secure individual spliced fibers from each length of the optical cables. Also the organizer provides a fiber splice support section in which the splices are placed upon completion.
